Interests
Micromechanical machining processes are direct material removal
processes with
microcutting tools or energy processes. They include milling, drilling,
diamond machining, laser machining, focused ion beam machining,
etc., to produce component features in the micrometer regime. These
are very rapid removal processes and are therefore suitable for
lowcost design concept development and prototyping at the microscale.
Bio-inspired nanotechnologies offer solutions to many challenges
in sensing. Of particular interest is protein-based sensing and
energy transduction for signal output.
